Everything was carefully locked Then he turned ovor all tho papers on tho table but found notbing that contained the information ho looked for It was his daily practice thus to try tho lnck1 in bopo that omo day tho safe or tlio drawers or tho desk would bo loft opon by accident when ho niilit bo able tn solve a certain problem tho doubt and ditlleiilty af which sore Jet tind hindered lmu nutnoly

disappointed Hivinj bruifly theforore also in accdnlca with his usual custom oxpressod his disgust at thi want ofcuQdenco between master and mun Mr Jumes returned to his paste and scissois About a quarter past six tlio shop door was cautiously optmed and a head appoarel which lookd round stealthily tjeeingnobody about except Mr James the headnodded and presently followed by its body slopped into the shop Wheres the Admiral Foxy 1 asked the caller Guvnors up stairs Mr Joseph taking of his toa with Miss Iris replied Mr Jamoa not at all ofTendod by the allusion to his craftiness Who should resemble tho Fox if not the secondhand booksolleri In no trade perhaps can tho truly admirublu qualities of that animal his pntienco hi3 subtlety and craft bin portinaelty his sagacity be itlustratai more toadvantage Mr James foit a glow ofvirtue would that ho could grow dnilv and hourly and more and more towards the perfect fox Then indeod and not till then would ho bo able to live truly up to Iubsecondhand books Having tea with Iris well The speaker looked as if it required som effort to receivo this sLotoniciit withresignation He always does tit six oclock Why sbudnt lie asked Mr Tunics

othur went on tho best of educition pianos to jd iy upon and nobody good onougii for hr to know Not on visiting tonus if ymi please with hor neighbors waiting fur duchesses to call upon her And what is she after all A uiisriblo toachor Mr Joseph Gallop wan unvoting mnnsunewhore betw n twenty and thirty all birgo limbed well netup and broad slumldored A young umn who nl fiist sight would seem eminently lilted to push his own lortunes Also at first sight a remarkably limdsom fellow with Ftraight clar cut fenturs and liglit curly h dr AVheu h swung nlonir the street his round hat carelessly tlmiwn back and his handsoino face lit up by llm suti the old women murmured n blessing iiiun his comely head as thiy used to do n long time njo upou the cnnnIy and curly heid of Absalom and the jouug

wbitper Thiuo go a hnudsonie frUrtw Those who knew him better an hnd looked more closely inf his face snid that his mouth was bad and bis eyes shifty The smno opui n was lnd1 by tho Tisersorrnn regards his ihnractor For on the one hnnd sinnn averred that to their crtiin knowledge Joe Jallnp hid shown himself a monster of iueinim iL to wariis his gr itulfat hr whn Ii id pi id his debts ami

have all bequeiil her Do you know anything Joe asked quickly Has ho made a now will latdyT Not that I know of Eut Mr Chalkor has been liere off and on a good bit now Ah Cbalkers a close on too EIhtIio4 toll mo his old friend Look here Foxy he turned a beaming and smiling faco upon the assistant If you should soo anything or find anything out tell me mind And romembor Ill make it worth your while Mr James looked as if he was askinghimself how Josoph could make it worth his while seeing that he got nothing more from his grandfather and by his own showing never would have anything more Its only his will Im anxious to know about that and where hes put away nil hit money Think what a dreadful thing it would be for his heirs IT he were to go and die suddenly and none of us to know where his investments are As for the shop that is already dis posed of as I dare say you know Disposed of Tho shop disposed of Oh Lord The assistant turned pale Oh Mr Josoph he asked earnestly what will beconio of tlio shop And who is to havo it I am to have it Hf Jcseph replied calmly This was the lie absolute nnd ho invented it very cleverly and at tiio right moment a thing which gives strength and life to a lie because he already suspected the truth and guessed the secret hope nnd ambition which possesses every ambitious assistant in this trade namely to got tho succession Mr James looked upon himself as tho lawful and rightful heir to thebusiness E it sometimes be entertainedgrievoub donl ts and now indeed his heart sank into his boots I am to have it Joerepeated Oh I didnt know You are to have It then Oh If Mr James had been ten years younger I think he would have burst into tears But at tho age of forty weeping no longerpresents itself as a form of relief It is more usual to seek consolation in a swear He stammcrod however while he turned pale and then rod and then pale again Yea quite proper Mr Joseph Pm sure and a most beautiful business may be made again here by oue who understands the way Oh you are a lucky man Mr Joseph You aro indeed sir to get such a noble chance Tho shop Joe went on was settled settled upon mo long ago The verb to settle is capable of convoying large and vague impressions But after all whats tho good of this place to a sailor1 The good the good of this place Mr Jamess cUsok flushed Why to make money to be sure to coin money in If 1 had this phee to myself why why in two years I would b making as much as 200 a year 1 would indeed You want to make money Bab Thats all you fellows think of To sit in the back hop all day long and to sell mouldy bonks Wo jolly sailor boys know better than that my lad There really was something nautical about the look of tho man Ho wore a black silk tie In a sailors running knot tho ends loose his waistcoat was unbuttoned and his coat was a kind of jacket not to speak of his swinging walk and careless pose lu fact ho had been a sailor he had mnde two voyages to India and back as assistantpurser or pursers clerk on board a p and O boat but some disagreement with biscommanding officer concerning hegligonce or Impudence or drink or laziness he had been charged In different situations and Pit different times with all these vices either together or separately caused him to lose his rating on the ships books However he brought away from his short nauticalexperience and preserved a certain nautical swagger which accorded well with his ap pearance and gave him a swashbuckler air which made those who knew him welllamont that ho had not graced thoElizabethan era when he might have become a1 gallanl buccaneer and so got himself shot through the head or that he had notflourished under the reign of good Queen Anne when he would probably have turned pirate and been hanged or that being born in tho Victorian age he had njt gone to the Far West where he would at least have had the chance of gotting shot in a gam bling saloon As for me when I got the business he continued I shall look about for seme one to carry it on until I nm able to sell it for what it will fetch Books at a penny apiece all round I suppose James gasped shop furuiluro thrown in James panted and the goodwill for a small lump sum James wondered how far his own savings and what ho could borrow might go towards that lump lira and how much mightremain My grandfather as you know of course is soon going to retire from business altogether This was another lieabsolute as Mr Emblem had no intentionwhatever of retiring Soon Mr Joseph He has never said a word lu mo about it Very soon now sooner than you expect Al s ventyfive and with all his money why should he go on slaving any longer Very soon indeed Any day Mr Joseph the assistant positively trembled with eagerness and apprehension What Is it James Did you really think that a man like me was going to sit in a back shop among these mouldy volumes all day Come thats too good You might havo given me credit for being one cut above a counter too I am a gentleman Jumos if you please 1 am an ofilcer and agentleman He then proceeded to explain in language that smacked something of the sua that his ideas soared far above trade which was at boat a contemptible occupation and quite unworthy of a gontlemnn particularly ol an officer and a gentleman and thnt his personal friends would nevor condescend oven to formal acquaintance not to speak of friendship with trade This discourse may bo omitted When one roads aboutsuch a man as Joe Gallop when we are told how ho lookd and what ho said and how he said it with what gestures anil in what tone we feel as if it would bo impossiblo for thesimplest person in tho world to be mistaken as to bis real character My friends especially my young friends so far from thodiscernment of character being easy it is on tho contrary an art most ditlicult and very rarely attained Natures indications are a kind of handwriting the characters in which aro known to fow so that for in stance tho quick inquiring glance of nt eye In which one may oasily road who knows the character treachery lying and tlocoption just as in tho lotter Both was originally easily discorned the offigios of a house may very easily pass unread by t lift multitude The language or rather the alphabet is much less complicated than the cuneiform of the ModeB and Persians yet no 0110 studies it except women moat of whom are profoundly skilled in this lore which makes thorn so fearfully and wonderfully wine Thus it is easy for man todeceive his brother man but not hie sister woman Again most of us are Llod to take everybody on his own state nionts there are or may be wo aro all ready to acknowledge with sorrow forerring humanity somewhere else in the world such things as protending swindling acting apnrtand cheating but they do not nnd cannot belong to our own world Mr Tamos the assistant vory well know that Mr Embloms grandson had already though slill young as bad a record as could bedotired by any that he had been turned out cf oue situation after another that his grandfather had lone since refused to help him nny moro that ne was always to uo found in tho broad path which leodoth to Hontruction When he hnd money he ran down that path asfast as his logs could carry him when ho Had none no oniy waiiceu nua wished ho could run But he never loft it and never wished to leave it Knowing all this the man accepted and belioved evory word of Joes story James believed itbecause he hoped it He listened respectfully to Jos declamation on tbo meanness of trade and then he rubbed his hands and said humbly that he ventured to hope whon M10 sale of the business camo on Mr Josoph would lot him havo a chance You asked Joe 1 nover thought of you But why not Why not I say Why not you as won as anyoouy uimi j Nobody btit mo Mr Joseph knows what 1 the business is nnd how it might bo improved ni I could make arrangements for paying by regular instalments Well well talk about it when tho time comes I wont forgot Sailors you know cant be expected to understand tho value of shops Kay James what doos theCommodore do all dayf Hits in there and adds np his luvestments n Always doing that eht Always adding ejn ug Ahi and youve never t a chanco of Jaoking over his shoulder 1 suppose Never You may And that chance one of those days I should like to know if only forcuriosity what they aro and where they aro Ho sits in thoro nnd adds em up Yes Ive seen him at it There must bo thousands by this time Thousands said the assistant in thebelief that the more you add up a sum the larger it grows Joe walked into the back shop and tried tho safe Whors are tho keysf he asked Always in his pocket or on the table before him He dont leave them about Or youd ha known pretty sharp all there is to know eh my lad Well youre a Foxy one you are if ever there was ona Lets be pals you and me When tho old man goos you wont tho shop well I dont see why you shouldnt havo tho shop somebody mu t have the shop and it will be mine to do what I please with As for his savings ho says they are all for Iris welt wills have been sot asido before thia Do you think now seriously do yon iliinl James that tho old man is quito right hf Dont answer in a hurry Dj you think now that ho is quite right in his chump James laughed Hes right enough though ho throws away his chances Thrown away his chance3 How the deuco can lie bo all right then Bid you ever hear of a bookseller in his right mind throwing away his chances IViiy no for that matter Very well then for that matter dont 1 or ni that you ve soon him throw aw lis ch me all his chances you said all Yoi iv iMady to swoar to that Mostimporcr eviLic that James James had uol 11 1 ill but ho grunted and the other r 11 vitt on It may come in useiul ii r c llctivU Kop your eyes wide in 11 my rodhaired pirate As for the louidy oifl sliop you may consider it a ood ns your own AVhy I suppose youll get somebody esn to handlo the pas tobrush ind scissors nnd tie up the parcels and water the shop oh Youll be too proud to do that for yourself you will Mr James grinnod and rubbed his hands All your own eh Well youll wake em up a bit wont you Mr James grinned again he continued grinning Go on Mr Joseph he said go onrI like it Consider tho job as settled then As for terras they shall be easy Im not a hard man And I say Foxy about that safo Mr James suddonly ceased grinningbecause ho observed a look in his patrons eyes which alarmed him About that safe You must find out for me where the old man has put his monev and what it is worth Do you bear Or How can I find outl He wont tell me any more than you Or else you must nut me in the way of finding out Mr Joseph lowered his voice to a whisper Ho keeps the keys on the table bofore him When a customer takes him out here he leaves tho keys behind him Do you know the key of tho safo Yes I know it What is to prevent a clevor quickeyed follow likoyou mate stopping in with a bit ii wax eh While bp if talking youknow You could rush it in a moment Its its dangerous Mr Joseph Ro it is rather dangerous not much What of that I would do anything I conld to be of service to you Mr Jossph but thats not Don est and its dangerous DnngerousI Theres danger in tho briny deep nnd shipwreck on tho blast if you come to danger Do we therefore jolly mariners nflont over think of that Novor As to honesty dont make a man sick Look here Mr Josoph If you 11 give mo a promiso in writing that Im to have tho shop as soon as you got it at a lair val uation and easy terms say ten per cent down nnd Stow it mate write what you like arJ Ill sign it Now about that keyi Stow if Tunfe write what you like and Ill sign it Now about that kcy f Supposing you were to got a duplicate key and supposing you was to got into trouble about it Mr Joseph should you should you I only put it to you should you up and round upon the man as got you that key Foxy you nra as suspiciouB as aChinaman Well thon do it this way Send it me in a letter and then who is to know where tho letter camo from The assistant nodded Then I think I can do the job though not perhaps your way But I think I can do it I wont promiso for a day or two There you spoke like an honest pal nnd a friendly shipmate Dangerous Of course it is When tho roaring winds do blow Hands upon It brother Foxy youve never dono n better days work You aro too crafty for any sailor you are indeed Here just for a little key Hnsh Mr Josoph 1 Oh pray pray dont talk so loudl You dont know who may bo listening Theres Mr Lala Roy You never hoar him coming Just for a triflo of a key you aro going to got possession of tho best book shop in all Chelsea Woll keop your eyes skinned and tho wax ready will you And now James Ill bo off Oh I say Mr Joseph wait a moment James was beginning to realizo what ho hnd promised If anything dreadful should como of this I dont know what Is in the safe There may be money as woll aspapers James do you think I would fltonl Do you mean to insinuate that I am a thiof sir Do you dare to suspect that I would take monoyi James certainly looked as if ho had thought even thnt possible I shall open tho safo take out thepapers read them nnd put thom back just as I found them Will that do for youi Ho shook hands again and took himself off At 7 oclock Mr Emblem camo down stairs again Has any ono been he asTtod as usual Only Mr Joseph What might Mr Josoph wantf Nothing at all Then said his grandfather Mr Joseph might just as woll have kept away Lot us anticipate a little James spent the next day hovering about in tho bopo that an opportunity would off or of getting tho koy in his possession for a few momonts There was no opportunity Tho bunch of keys lay on tho tnblo under the old mans eyes all day and when he loft the table ho Carried them with him But tho dayafterwards ho got his chance One of the oldcustomers called to talk over past bargains and former prizes Mr Emblem came out of ho back shop with his visitor and continued talking with him as far as tho door As he passed tho table Jnroess table he rested the hand which carried the keys on it and loft Iheni thoro James pounced upon thom and slipped them into his pocket noiselessly Mr Emblem returned to his own chair and thought nothing of tho keys for nn hour ami a half by the clock and during this period James win out on business Whon MrEmblem romernltered his keys he felt for them in their usual place and missed them and then liognn searching about nud cried out Co James that he had lost his bunch of keys Why sir said James bringing them to htm after n little search and with a very red l ace hem they aro you must havo loft them on my table And in this way io job was done CHAPTER IIL IRIS THE HERALD By a somewhat remarkable coincidence it was on this very evening that Iris first made tho acquaintance of her pupil Mr Arnold Arbulhnot Those coincidences I believe happen oftcner in real life than they do 011 tho stage whore people aro always turning up at U10 very nick of time and tho critical moment 1 need little persuasion to make ma boliovt that I ho first meeting of Arnold Arbulhnot and Iris on tho very evening whn hoi cousin was opening matters with the Foxy ono was uothing short of providential You shall soo presently what things mih have happened if they had not met Tin meeting Was In fact tho soeond of tho three renllv important events in tho life of a girL Tho first which is seldom romo inhered with the gratitude which it deserves is hor birth thoscc nd the first meeting with hor future lover the third hor wedding day tlio other evens of a womans Uio are interesting perhaps but not important Certain circumstances which will beimmediately explained connected with this moutiiiK mndo il an ovont of vi yconsidorablo nitoioat lo I ns wiiijbvUKH she did not suspect its immensj importance So much interest that sho thought of nothing else for a week beforehand that ns the appointed hour drew near she trembled and grew pale t hat when her grandfather came up for his ten she who wjis usuallv so quick to discern the least sigu of care or anxiety in his face actually did not observe the trouble plainly written in his drooping head and anxious eyes which was due to his interview with Mr David Chnlker She poured out the tea therefore without one word of sympathy This would bays seemod hard if her grandfather had expected any Ho did not howevor because ho did not know that the trouble showed In his face and was trying to look as if nothing had hap pa nod Yot in his brain wereringing and resounding tho words Within three weoks within three weeks with the regularity of a horrid clock at midnight when one wnnta to go to sleep Oh cried Iris forced as young people always aro to sveak of hor own trouble oh grandfather ho is coming tonight Who is coming tonight my dear and then he listened again for tho ticking of that clock Within throe weeks within three weoks Who is coming tonight my dear Ho took tho cup of toa from her and sat down with nn old mans deliberation which springs loss from wisdom and the fullness of thought tlinji from respect to rheumatism The iteration of that refrain Within three weoks made him forget everything even tho trouble of his granddaughters mind Oh grandfather you cannot haveforgotten Sho spoke with the least possible touch of irritation because she had been thinking of this thing for a wook past day and night and it was a thing of such stupondousinterest to her that it seemed impossible that any ono who know of it could forgot what was com i ng No no Tho old man was stimulated into Immediate recollection by thedisappointment in her eyes No no my deary I have not forgotten Your pupil iscoming Mr Arbulhnot Is coming But Iris child dont let that worry you I will see him for you if you like No I must soe him myself You see dear I ho re is the awful deception Oh how shall I tell him No deception at all he said stoutly You advertised in your own initials He never asked if tho initials belonged to a man or to a woman Tho other pupils do not know Why should this one What does it matter to him if you have dono the work for which hoongagcd yuur srloaT But oH ho is bflcicTiM And the others you know keep to the subject So should bo then Why didnt her But ho hnsnt And I havo boonanswering him and he must think that I was drawing him on to tell me more abouthimself and now oh whnt will he think I drew him 011 and on yet I didnt mean to till nt last he writes to say that ho regards mo as tho bust friend nnd tho wisest adviser he has ever had What will he think and say Grandfather It is dreadfull What did you toll him for Iris mydearf Why couldnt you lot things go on And by telling him you will lose your pupil Yjs of course and worse still I shall loso liis letters Wo live so quietly here that his lotters have como to mo like news of another world How many different worlds are there all round one in London It has been pleasant to rend of that one in which ladies go about beautifully dressed always and where the people havo nothing to do but to ninuso themselves He has told me about this world in which ho lives and about his own life so that I knoweverything he does and whore he goes and here she sighed heavily of course it could not go on forever and I should uot mind so much if it had not been carried on undor falso pretences No falso pretences at all my dear Dont think it I sent back his last cheque she said trying to find a little consolation for herself But yot Well Iris said her grandfather he wanted to learn heraldry and you have taught him For the last three months the girl blushed as if sho was confessing hor sins for the Inst three months there has not been a single word in his lottera about heraldry He tells me that ho writesbecause ho is idle or because he wants to talk or because ho is alono in his studio orbecauso he wants his unknown friends advice I am his unknown friend and I have been giving him advice And very good advfco too said her grandfather benevolently Who is so wise as my Iris I havo answered all his letters and never once told him that I am only a girl 1 am glad you did not tell him Iris said hor ffrandfathor but ho did not say why he was glad And why cant ho go on writing his letters without making any fuss Because ho snys ho must make theacrinintance of the man the man ho says with whom ho has beon in correspondence so long This is what he says She opened a lottor which lay upon atable covered with papers but her grandfather stopped hor Woll my dear I do not want to know what ho says He wishes to make youracquaintance Vory good then You are going to seo him anil to toll him who yon are That is enough But as for deceiving he paused try ins to undecnud this ex treme scrupulosity or conscience it you come to deceiving well in a kind of a sort of way you did nllow him to think his cor respondent a man I admit that What harm is dono to him None Ho wont so moan I suppose as to ask for hia money back again I think ho ought to have it all back said Iris ves all from the very beiginnine I am ashamed that I over took any money from him My faco burns whon I think ol it To this hor grandfather mnde no reply Iho returning or money paiq lor services rendered was to his commercial mind too Toolish a thing to bo oven talked about At tho sumo time Iris was quito free tomanage her own affairs And then there was Hint roll of papers in tho safe Why what mailer if sho sont away all her pupils He changed tho subject Iris my dear1 ho said about this othoi world where the people amuse themselves tho world which lives in tlio squares and in tlio big houses on tho Chelsea umbnnknionl here yuu know how should you like jus or a change to belong to that world and linvn no work to do 1 dont know she replied carelessly be aiisth question did nor interest hor You would have to leave mo of course You oiid suvtjr your connection as they il dont lot us talk You would have to bo ashamed porhaps f over having taught for your living Now that 1 uovnr should be nover not If they made me a duchess You would go dressud in silk and velvet My dear I should like to soo you dressed i just for once as wo have seen thom at the theatre Woll I should like onu velvet dress in my life Only one And it should lwcrimson a lwnuliful deep dark crimson Vory good And you would drive In a enrringn intend of an omnibus you would nit in tlio stalls instead of the upper circlo you wouldgivo quantities of money to poor eope andyou would buy as many second band books as you pleased There are rich people I believe ostontatious people who buy now books Hut you my dear have beon better brought up No books are worth buying till they have stood the criticism of 11 whole generation at least Never buy now hooks my dear I wont snid Iris But you dear old man what bave you got in your headtonight Why in the world should wo talk about getting nchf But you drar old man what have you got tn yowr Acncf foiiifZif I was only thinking be said that perhaps you might bo so much happior tlappierf Nonsense 1 nm ns happy ns I can be Six pupils nirondy To bo sure I have lost one she sighed and tho best among them all t hen her grandfather loft her Irisplaced candles on the writing table but did not light them though it was already pretty dark She had half an hour to wait and she wanted to think and candles aro not lecessary for meditation She sat at the open window nnd suffered her thoughts to amoie where they pleased ibis is a rest ful thing to do especially if your windows look upon a tolerably busy but not noisy London road For thon it is almost ns good 03 sitting beside a swiftly running stream the movomont of the peoplo below Islikotho unceasing flow of the current tho sound of tho footsteps is like tho whisper of the water along tho bank the echo of the half heard talk strikes your ear like themysterious voices wafted to tho banks from the boatsos they go by and tho lights of the shops and the street presently becomeflpoctral and unreal like lights seen upon the river in the evoning Iris bad a good many pupils six In fact as she had boosted why then was Bhe so strangely disturbed on account of one An old tutor by correspondence may bo and very likely is indifferent about his pupils becauso ho has had so many but Iris was a young tutor and had ns yet known few One of her pupils for instance was a gentleman in the fruit and potato line in tho borough By reason of hi3 early education hich had not beon neglected so much as en tirely omitted he was unable to personally conduct his accounts Now a merchant ithout his accounts i3 as hoi p ess as a tour ist without his Cook So that ho desired in mature age to learn bookkeeping com pound addition subtraction andmultiplication Ho had no partners so that ho did not want division But it is difficult say woll nigh impossible for a middleaged merchant not trained in the graces of letter writing to inspire a young lady withpersonal regard evon though sho is privileged to follow tho current of his thoughts day by day and to set him his sums Isext thoro was a young follow of nine teen or twenty who was beginning lifo as an assistant teacher in a commercial school at Lower Clapton This way is a stony and a thorny path to tread no ono walks upon it willingly those who are compelled to enter upon it speedily either run away and enlist or they go and fird a secluded spot in which to hang themselves Iho smoother ways of tbo profession aro only tp be entered by ono who is the possessor of a degree and it was tho determination of this young man to pass the London Universityexaminations and obtain tho dogroo of Bacholor In this way his value in tho educational markot would bB at once doubled and he could command a bottor place and lighter work He showed himself in bis lotters to be an eminently practical shrewd selfish and thickskinned young man who would quite certainly get on in the world nnd was rosolved to loso no opportunities and with that view ho took as much work out of bis tutor as ho could got for tho monoy Had he known that the I A who took such awonderful amount of troublo with his papers was only a woman ho would certainty haveextorted a groat deal moro work for his monoy All this Iris read in his lotters andunderstood There is no way in which a man more surely nnd more naturally revealn hia true character than in his correspondence so that after a while ovon though thesubject of tho lotters be nothing morointeresting than the studies in hand those who write the lotters may learn to know each other if they have but tho mother wit to read between tho lines Certainly this young schoolmaster did not know Iris nor did ho desire to discover what she was like being wholly occupiod with the study of himsolf Strange and kindly provision of nature The less desirable a man actually appears to others tho more fondly he loves andbelieves in himself 1 hnve hoard it whisperod that Narcissus was a hunchback Thon thoro was another pupil a girl whn was working hor very bnrdost in order tobecome as she hoped a Ilrstclnss governess and who poor thing by reason of natural thick uoss would never roach even the third rank Iris would have been sorry for hor beiause she workod so tlercoly and was sc stupid but there was something hard and unsympathetic in her nnturo which forbade pity She was miserably poor too and had an unsuccessful father no doubt as stupid as her f and mndo pitiful excuse for not forwarding the slonder foes with regularity Evorybody who is poor should bo on that ground alone worthy of pity and sympathy But tho hardness and stupidity undilltornper all combined and clearly shown in hor letters repelled hor tutor Iris who draw imaginary portraits of hor pltpils pictured tho girl as plain to look upon with a dull eye a leathery pallid chock a forehead wituout sunshine upon it and lips whichsoldom parted with asmilo Thon there was besides a Cambridgeundergraduate Ho was neither clever nor bad us trio us nor vory ambitious he though that a moderate place was qui to good enough for him to aim at and ho found that this unknown and obscure tutor bycorrespondence was cheap and obliging and willing to take troublo nnd quito asefficacious for his purposes as tho most oxpensivo Cambridge coach Iris presently discovered that he was lazy and luxurious a deceiver of himself adwollor in Fools Paradise and a consistent shirker of work Thoroforo sho disliked him Had she nctunllyknown him and talked with him she might have liked him better in spite of these faults and shortcomings for he was really a pleasant oasygoing youth who wallowod inintellectual sloth but loved physical activity who will presently drop easily and comfortubly and without nn effort or a doubt into tho bosom of the church and will develop later n into an admirablo country parsonunless they disestablish tho Establishment in which case I do not know what ho will do But this other man this man who was coming foran explanation this Mr Arnold Arbutlnot was if you ploaso a vorydifferent kind of pupil In tho first place he was a gentleman a foot which ho displayed but not ostentatiously in evory lino of his letters next he hnd come to her forinstruction tho only pupil she had in that science in heraldry which sho loved It is for moro pleasant to bo describing a shield nnd sotting questions in the quoor old language of this queer old science than in solving andproposing problems in trigonomtry and comic sections And then how if your pupilbegins totalk round tho subject and to wnn lr nto other things You cannot very well lalk round a branch of nmtheniatiei but aernldry is a subject surroundel by fields meadows and lawns so to speak 11 onvord with beautiful flowers Into lhew he pupil wandered and Iris not unwillingly followed Ihus tbo teaching of heraldiv bv oorre pondenco been mo bo most dolightfulinterrbnngo of letters

the advice given her by two old men who formed all her society Then as was natural what was at first a kind of olnj became bofore long a serious andearnest confidence on tho one side and ahesitating reception on the other Latterly he moro than once amiirdhimself by drawing an imaginary portrait of hor it was a pleasing portrait but it mado her fool uneasy I know you ho said from youi lotters but yet I want to know you in poison I think you aro a man advanced in years Poor Iris and she not yet twentyone You sit in your study and read you wear glasses nnd your hair is gray you havo a kind heart and a cheerful voio you aro not rich you have never tried to make yourself rich you aro therefore little versed in tho ways of mankind you take vour ideas chiefly from books tho few friends you have chosen are true anil loyal vou aro full of sympathy and quick to road the thoughts of those in whom you take an interest A very fino character but it made Iriss cheek to burn and her eyes to drop To

only his will Im anxious to know about that and where hes put away nil hit money Think what a dreadful thing it would be for his heirs IT he were to go and die suddenly and none of us to know where

waistcoat was unbuttoned and his coat was a kind of jacket not to speak of his swinging walk and careless pose lu fact ho had been a sailor he had mnde two voyages to India and back as assistantpurser or pursers clerk on board a p and O boat but some disagreement with biscommanding officer concerning hegligonce or Impudence or drink or laziness he had been charged In different situations and Pit different times with all these vices either together or separately caused him to lose his rating on the ships books However he brought away from his short nauticalexperience and preserved a certain nautical swagger which accorded well with his ap pearance and gave him a swashbuckler air which made those who knew him welllamont that ho had not graced thoElizabethan era when he might have become a1 gallanl buccaneer and so got himself shot through the head or that he had notflourished under the reign of good Queen Anne when he would probably have turned pirate and been hanged or that being born in tho Victorian age he had njt gone to the Far West where he would at least have had the chance of gotting shot in a gam bling saloon As for me when I got the business he continued I shall look about for seme one to carry it on until I nm able to sell it for what it will fetch Books at a penny apiece all round I suppose James gasped shop furuiluro thrown in James panted and the goodwill for a small lump sum James wondered how far his own savings and what ho could borrow might go towards that lump lira and how much mightremain My grandfather as you know of course is soon going to retire from business altogether This was another lieabsolute as Mr Emblem had no intentionwhatever of retiring Soon Mr Joseph He has never said a word lu mo about it Very soon now sooner than you expect Al s ventyfive and with all his money why should he go on slaving any longer Very soon indeed Any day Mr Joseph the assistant positively trembled with eagerness and apprehension What Is it James Did you really think that a man like me was going to sit in a back shop among these mouldy volumes all day Come thats too good You might havo given me credit for being one cut above a counter too I am a gentleman Jumos if you please 1 am an ofilcer and agentleman He then proceeded to explain in language that smacked something of the sua that his ideas soared far above trade which was at boat a contemptible occupation and quite unworthy of a gontlemnn particularly ol an officer and a gentleman and thnt his personal friends would nevor condescend oven to formal acquaintance not to speak of friendship with trade This discourse may bo omitted When one roads aboutsuch a man as Joe Gallop when we are told how ho lookd and what ho said and how he said it with what gestures anil in what tone we feel as if it would bo impossiblo for thesimplest person in tho world to be mistaken as to bis real character My friends especially my young friends so far from thodiscernment of character being easy it is on tho contrary an art most ditlicult and very rarely attained Natures indications are a kind of handwriting the characters in which aro known to fow so that for in stance tho quick inquiring glance of nt eye In which one may oasily road who knows the character treachery lying and tlocoption just as in tho lotter Both was originally easily discorned the offigios of a house may very easily pass unread by t lift multitude The language or rather the alphabet is much less complicated than the cuneiform of the ModeB and Persians yet no 0110 studies it except women moat of whom are profoundly skilled in this lore which makes thorn so fearfully and wonderfully wine Thus it is easy for man todeceive his brother man but not hie sister woman Again most of us are Llod to take everybody on his own state nionts there are or may be wo aro all ready to acknowledge with sorrow forerring humanity somewhere else in the world such things as protending swindling acting apnrtand cheating but they do not nnd cannot belong to our own world Mr Tamos the assistant vory well know that Mr Embloms grandson had already though slill young as bad a record as could bedotired by any that he had been turned out cf oue situation after another that his grandfather had lone since refused to help him nny moro that ne was always to uo found in tho broad path which leodoth to Hontruction When he hnd money he ran down that path asfast as his logs could carry him when ho Had none no oniy waiiceu nua wished ho could run But he never loft it and never wished to leave it Knowing all this the man accepted and belioved evory word of Joes story James believed itbecause he hoped it He listened respectfully to Jos declamation on tbo meanness of trade and then he rubbed his hands and said humbly that he ventured to hope whon M10 sale of the business camo on Mr Josoph would lot him havo a chance You asked Joe 1 nover thought of you But why not Why not I say Why not you as won as anyoouy

beginning to realizo what ho hnd promised If anything dreadful should como of this I dont know what Is in the safe There may be money as woll aspapers James do you think I would fltonl Do you mean to insinuate that I am a thiof sir Do you dare to suspect that I would take monoyi James certainly looked as if ho had thought even thnt possible I shall open tho safo take out thepapers read them nnd put thom back just as I found them Will that do for youi Ho shook hands again and took himself off At 7 oclock Mr Emblem camo down stairs again Has any ono been he asTtod as usual Only Mr Joseph What might Mr Josoph wantf Nothing at all Then said his grandfather Mr Joseph might just as woll have kept away Lot us anticipate a little James spent the next day hovering about in tho bopo that an opportunity would off or of getting tho koy in his possession for a few momonts There was no opportunity Tho bunch of keys lay on tho tnblo under the old mans eyes all day and when he loft the table ho Carried them with him But tho dayafterwards ho got his chance One of the oldcustomers called to talk over past bargains and former prizes Mr Emblem came out of ho back shop with his visitor and continued talking with him as far as tho door As he passed tho table Jnroess table he rested the hand which carried the keys on it and loft Iheni thoro James pounced upon thom and slipped them into his pocket noiselessly Mr Emblem returned to his own chair and thought nothing of tho keys for nn hour ami a half by the clock and during this period James win out on business Whon MrEmblem romernltered his keys he felt for them in their usual place and missed them and then liognn searching about nud cried out Co James that he had lost his bunch of keys Why sir said James bringing them to htm after n little search and with a very red l ace hem they aro you must havo loft them on my table And in this way io job was done CHAPTER IIL IRIS THE HERALD By a somewhat remarkable coincidence it was on this very evening that Iris first made tho acquaintance of her pupil Mr Arnold Arbulhnot Those coincidences I believe happen oftcner in real life than they do 011 tho stage whore people aro always turning up at U10 very nick of time and tho critical moment 1 need little persuasion to make ma boliovt that I ho first meeting of Arnold Arbulhnot and Iris on tho very evening whn hoi cousin was opening matters with the Foxy ono was uothing short of providential You shall soo presently what things mih have happened if they had not met Tin meeting Was In fact tho soeond of tho three renllv important events in tho life of a girL Tho first which is seldom romo inhered with the gratitude which it deserves is hor birth thoscc nd the first meeting with hor future lover the third hor wedding day tlio other evens of a womans Uio are interesting perhaps but not important Certain circumstances which will beimmediately explained connected with this moutiiiK mndo il an ovont of vi yconsidorablo nitoioat lo I ns wiiijbvUKH she did not suspect its immensj importance So much interest that sho thought of nothing else for a week beforehand that ns the appointed hour drew near she trembled and grew pale t hat when her grandfather came up for his ten she who wjis usuallv so quick to discern the least sigu of care or anxiety in his face actually did not observe the trouble plainly written in his drooping head and anxious eyes which was due to his interview with Mr David Chnlker She poured out the tea therefore without one word of sympathy This would bays seemod hard if her grandfather had expected any Ho did not howevor because ho did not know that the trouble showed In his face and was trying to look as if nothing had hap pa nod Yot in his brain wereringing and resounding tho words Within three weoks within three weeks with the regularity of a horrid clock at midnight when one wnnta to go to sleep Oh cried Iris forced as young people always aro to sveak of hor own trouble oh grandfather ho is coming tonight Who is coming tonight my dear and then he listened again for tho ticking of that clock Within throe weeks within three weoks Who is coming tonight my dear Ho took tho cup of toa from her and sat down with nn old mans deliberation which springs loss from wisdom and the fullness of thought tlinji from respect to rheumatism The iteration of that refrain Within three weoks made him forget everything even tho trouble of his granddaughters mind Oh grandfather you cannot haveforgotten Sho spoke with the least possible touch of irritation because she had been thinking of this thing for a wook past day and night and it was a thing of such stupondousinterest to her that it seemed impossible that any ono who know of it could forgot what was com i ng No no Tho old man was stimulated into Immediate recollection by thedisappointment in her eyes No no my deary I have not forgotten Your pupil iscoming Mr Arbulhnot Is coming But Iris child dont let that worry you I will see him for you if you like No I must soe him myself You see dear I ho re is the awful deception Oh how shall I tell him No deception at all he said stoutly You advertised in your own initials He never asked if tho initials belonged to a man or to a woman Tho other pupils do not know Why should this one What does it matter to him if you have dono the work for which hoongagcd yuur srloaT But oH ho is bflcicTiM And the others you know keep to the subject So should bo then Why didnt her But ho hnsnt And I havo boonanswering him and he must think that I was drawing him on to tell me more abouthimself and now oh whnt will he think I drew him 011 and on yet I didnt mean to till nt last he writes to say that ho regards mo as tho bust friend nnd tho wisest adviser he has ever had What will he think and say Grandfather It is dreadfull What did you toll him for Iris mydearf Why couldnt you lot things go on And by telling him you will lose your pupil Yjs of course and worse still I shall loso liis letters Wo live so quietly here that his lotters have como to mo like news of another world How many different worlds are there all round one in London It has been pleasant to rend of that one in which ladies go about beautifully dressed always and where the people havo nothing to do but to ninuso themselves He has told me about this world in which ho lives and about his own life so that I knoweverything he does and whore he goes and here she sighed heavily of course it could not go on forever and I should uot mind so much if it had not been carried on undor falso pretences No falso pretences at all my dear Dont think it I sent back his last cheque she said trying to find a little consolation for herself But yot Well Iris said her grandfather he wanted to learn heraldry and you have taught him For the last three months the girl blushed as if sho was confessing hor sins for the Inst three months there has not been a single word in his lottera about heraldry He tells me that ho writesbecause ho is idle or because he wants to talk or because ho is alono in his studio orbecauso he wants his unknown friends advice I am his unknown friend and I have been giving him advice And very good advfco too said her grandfather benevolently Who is so wise as my Iris I havo answered all his letters and never once told him that I am only a girl 1 am glad you did not tell him Iris said hor ffrandfathor but ho did not say why he was glad And why cant ho go on writing his letters without making any fuss Because ho snys ho must make theacrinintance of the man the man ho says with whom ho has beon in correspondence so long This is what he says She opened a lottor which lay upon atable covered with papers but her grandfather stopped hor Woll my dear I do not want to know what ho says He wishes to make youracquaintance Vory good then You are going to seo him anil to toll him who yon are That is enough But as for deceiving he paused try ins to undecnud this ex treme scrupulosity or conscience it you come to deceiving well in a kind of a sort of way you did nllow him to think his cor respondent a man I admit that What harm is dono to him None Ho wont so moan I suppose as to ask for hia money back again I think ho ought to have it all back said Iris ves all from the very beiginnine I am ashamed that I over took any money from him My faco burns whon I think ol it To this hor grandfather mnde no reply Iho returning or money paiq lor services rendered was to his commercial mind too Toolish a thing to bo oven talked about At tho sumo time Iris was quito free tomanage her own affairs And then there was Hint roll of papers in tho safe Why what mailer if sho sont away all her pupils He changed tho subject Iris my dear1 ho said about this othoi world where the people amuse themselves tho world which lives in tlio squares and in tlio big houses on tho Chelsea umbnnknionl here yuu know how should you like jus or a change to belong to that world and linvn no work to do 1 dont know she replied carelessly be aiisth question did nor interest hor You would have to leave mo of course You oiid suvtjr your connection as they il dont lot us talk You would have to bo ashamed porhaps f over having taught for your living Now that 1 uovnr should be nover not If they made me a duchess You would go dressud in silk and velvet My dear I should like to soo you dressed i just for once as wo have seen thom at the theatre Woll I should like onu velvet dress in my life Only one And it should lwcrimson a lwnuliful deep dark crimson Vory good And you would drive In a enrringn intend of an omnibus you would nit in tlio stalls instead of the upper circlo you wouldgivo quantities of money to poor eope andyou would buy as many second band books as you pleased There are rich people I believe ostontatious people who buy now books Hut you my dear have beon better brought up No books are worth buying till they have stood the criticism of 11 whole generation at least Never buy now hooks my dear I wont snid Iris But you dear old man what bave you got in your headtonight Why in the world should wo talk about getting nchf But you drar old man what have you got tn yowr Acncf foiiifZif I was only thinking be said that perhaps you might bo so much happior tlappierf Nonsense 1 nm ns happy ns I can be Six pupils nirondy To bo sure I have lost one she sighed and tho best among them all t hen her grandfather loft her Irisplaced candles on the writing table but did not light them though it was already pretty dark She had half an hour to wait and she wanted to think and candles aro not lecessary for meditation She sat at the open window nnd suffered her thoughts to amoie where they pleased ibis is a rest ful thing to do especially if your windows look upon a tolerably busy but not noisy London road For thon it is almost ns good 03 sitting beside a swiftly running stream the movomont of the peoplo below Islikotho unceasing flow of the current tho sound of tho footsteps is like tho whisper of the water along tho bank the echo of the half heard talk strikes your ear like themysterious voices wafted to tho banks from the boatsos they go by and tho lights of the shops and the street presently becomeflpoctral and unreal like lights seen upon the river in the evoning Iris bad a good many pupils six In fact as she had boosted why then was Bhe so strangely disturbed on account of one An old tutor by correspondence may bo and very likely is indifferent about his pupils becauso ho has had so many but Iris was a young tutor and had ns yet known few One of her pupils for instance was a gentleman in the fruit and potato line in tho borough By reason of hi3 early education hich had not beon neglected so much as en tirely omitted he was unable to personally conduct his accounts Now a merchant ithout his accounts i3 as hoi p ess as a tour ist without his Cook So that ho desired in mature age to learn bookkeeping com pound addition subtraction andmultiplication Ho had no partners so that ho did not want division But it is difficult say woll nigh impossible for a middleaged merchant not trained in the graces of letter writing to inspire a young lady withpersonal regard evon though sho is privileged to follow tho current of his thoughts day by day and to set him his sums Isext thoro was a young follow of nine teen or twenty who was beginning lifo as an assistant teacher in a commercial school at Lower Clapton This way is a stony and a thorny path to tread no ono walks upon it willingly those who are compelled to enter upon it speedily either run away and enlist or they go and fird a secluded spot in which to hang themselves Iho smoother ways of tbo profession aro only tp be entered by ono who is the possessor of a degree and it was tho determination of this young man to pass the London Universityexaminations and obtain tho dogroo of Bacholor In this way his value in tho educational markot would bB at once doubled and he could command a bottor place and lighter work He showed himself in bis lotters to be an eminently practical shrewd selfish and thickskinned young man who would quite certainly get on in the world nnd was rosolved to loso no opportunities and with that view ho took as much work out of bis tutor as ho could got for tho monoy Had he known that the I A who took such awonderful amount of troublo with his papers was only a woman ho would certainty haveextorted a groat deal moro work for his monoy All this Iris read in his lotters andunderstood There is no way in which a man more surely nnd more naturally revealn hia true character than in his correspondence so that after a while ovon though thesubject of tho lotters be nothing morointeresting than the studies in hand those who write the lotters may learn to know each other if they have but tho mother wit to read between tho lines Certainly this young schoolmaster did not know Iris nor did ho desire to discover what she was like being wholly occupiod with the study of himsolf Strange and kindly provision of nature The less desirable a man actually appears to others tho more fondly he loves andbelieves in himself 1 hnve hoard it whisperod that Narcissus was a hunchback Thon thoro was another pupil a girl whn was working hor very bnrdost in order tobecome as she hoped a Ilrstclnss governess and who poor thing by reason of natural thick uoss would never roach even the third rank Iris would have been sorry for hor beiause she workod so tlercoly and was sc stupid but there was something hard and unsympathetic in her nnturo which forbade pity She was miserably poor too and had an unsuccessful father no doubt as stupid as her f and mndo pitiful excuse for not forwarding the slonder foes with regularity Evorybody who is poor should bo on that ground alone worthy of pity and sympathy But tho hardness and stupidity undilltornper all combined and clearly shown in hor letters repelled hor tutor Iris who draw imaginary portraits of hor pltpils pictured tho girl as plain to look upon with a dull eye a leathery pallid chock a forehead wituout sunshine upon it and lips whichsoldom parted with asmilo Thon there was besides a Cambridgeundergraduate Ho was neither clever nor bad us trio us nor vory ambitious he though that a moderate place was qui to good enough for him to aim at and ho found that this unknown and obscure tutor bycorrespondence was cheap and obliging and willing to take troublo nnd quito asefficacious for his purposes as tho most oxpensivo Cambridge coach Iris presently discovered that he was lazy and luxurious a deceiver of himself adwollor in Fools Paradise and a consistent shirker of work Thoroforo sho disliked him Had she nctunllyknown him and talked with him she might have liked him better in spite of these faults and shortcomings for he was really a pleasant oasygoing youth who wallowod inintellectual sloth but loved physical activity who will presently drop easily and comfortubly and without nn effort or a doubt into tho bosom of the church and will develop later n into an admirablo country parsonunless they disestablish tho Establishment in which case I do not know what ho will do But this other man this man who was coming foran explanation this Mr Arnold Arbutlnot was if you ploaso a vorydifferent kind of pupil In tho first place he was a gentleman a foot which ho displayed but not ostentatiously in evory lino of his letters next he hnd come to her forinstruction tho only pupil she had in that science in heraldry which sho loved It is for moro pleasant to bo describing a shield nnd sotting questions in the quoor old language of this queer old science than in solving andproposing problems in trigonomtry and comic sections And then how if your pupilbegins totalk round tho subject and to wnn lr nto other things You cannot very well lalk round a branch of nmtheniatiei but aernldry is a subject surroundel by fields meadows and lawns so to
